Once a stray, always a stray.

Goodbye.

Working Title: Free to Love, Slaves to Language

I'm not at all what you imagined
Just a note scribbled in your margin
The one you can't bare to look at
Or bring yourself to erase

You are the hook I could never write
Losing you between the lines
Trapping you in crumpled pages
At a loss for words again

So maybe this is love
You've been the verb
I've become the noun
But structure can't confine us
Though your hesitant commas divided us
When all we thought was simple present
Became continuous

Still I'll never regret knowing
I will have loved
Even if there is no future perfect
So I will be holding off my punctuation
Waiting for you to finish your sentence

The Nerdery behind the poem:

( Grammar, who'd a thought? )

(As some of you may know...) When the mood strikes, I am a crazy organization whore. I like to have everything systematically organized in the most functional possible way. Putting my own ideas together with inspiration from how others organize their journals, I've decided to organize mine now, before it's too late. Changes are:

-All old posts will be marked as [Miscellaneous General]  and mildly edited for content/ spelling but otherwise left relatively the same with a few exceptions.

-Tags will all be re-edited for consistency in previous entries and maintained throughout the new entries.

-Entries that are random or don't fit a particular category will all be marked [General] (Except posts of this nature which will be labeled [Notice]) and will be viewable to everyone on my F-list.

-The rare but possibly existing public entry will be marked as [Open]

-Some entries will be filtered to only include specific individuals either for the sake of my own comfort or to protect someone's privacy. These will be marked [Custom-Locked]

-These Categories will be filtered, meaning that you will get to choose which kinds of entries do and don't appear on your F-list. Because of this new system I'm likely going to make many more entries so it'd be good of you all to take the time to tell me which you'd like to be able to view so I can organize you accordingly. Currently they are:


Please tell me which filters you'd like to be on!

Many filter categories will likely cross over from time to time. If I find that they do so enough for them to be double(or triple, etc)-labeled, then I will do so and as always it's up to you if you read or not.

Also, a tag such as "[the world]", "[spirituality]", "[the arts]" will be added amongst the tags in each entry for easy category browsing. This is for specific categories only and doesn't apply to [General]/[Custom-Locked]/[Notice], etc.
